Goodwill Bins in Nevada

"UPDATED 01-13-26 Ok, I went back after a month of my last review and they've made HUGE improvements. I drove by on a Monday and when I went inside, it was sooo crowded with bins FULL of clothes piled up, and impressive. (last time I went, it was SOOOO bare and dirty, now it's improved one thousand percent) The people were rummaging getting their bargains by the pound, and there were many teens there too shopping with their friends. I asked the worker is restock every Monday, and he said about every 30-45 minutes! WOW. When the employee swinging doors opened, I saw towers of pallets full of stuff inside. So overall, I do recommend this place if you wanna dig with your hands. You'll walk out with something. I didn't plan to but in 10 minutes, I paid $25 for 12 pounds of clothes/stuffed animals and it's much cheaper than if I went anywhere else. Yes, there's plenty of brand name clothes without the markups too! (BELOW IS MY OLD REVIEW) After going to traditional multiple Goodwills in the area, I decided to try a Clearance Center Bin Style. I've seen many great videos of successful re-sellers and buyers on YouTube like Hairy Tornado that go to Goodwill Bins where you pay by the pound and are usually VERY successful. My expectations were high, not saying I will walk away with a fortune not to resell any of it, but my last few Goodwills in the past month, all the purchases that I spent, (almost a grand worth), were for my household only. On the outside, it looked impressive with all the big rig trucks and appeared to be a 2 story building. What I recommend is don't take my word for it, drive down there yourself, BRING GLOVES, & write your own review Thank you everyone & I hope this review helps you, and like this comment."

"I had an amazing experience. I found new clothing and household items, electronics that work, sunglasses, and jewelry. Please wear protective gloves while digging. The staff was amazing, there is a guy that works there, he keeps the crowd in order when the new bins are rotated in. Overall, great experience and I will return on my next visit to LV."

"The "vintage clothing" outlet dudes (and a couple employees) have absolutely ruined this place. I used to come here years ago with my wife and daughter, we moved away awhile ago, In town visiting family and we decided to go to the outlet. The first day was okay... Rotations were very slow. My wife found a new in box Microwave Oven that we are taking home with us. On the second day... My daughter only goes for clothes, She was waiting in line when two guys walked in from the parking lot, one cut Infront of her because she's not a man, 5ft4 and not intimidating to this 120 pound 6ft fella wearing a ratty shirt because it's single stitch bro 🥴 And she said something to him about cutting her in line he just pretended not to hear, I was in the hard goods otherwise it wouldn't have gone down this way. When they released the new rotation, the guy elbowed her as he ran for whatever hopefully dry rot, useless piece of junk he was running for leaving a bruise on her stomach. We brought this up to the strange employee, Male, Glasses and very loud and obnoxious, He just said it was standard for the bins essentially and there wasn't much to do about it. We are planning to contact corporate. We took a photo of the man who did it too, Very easily identifiable by his auto immune disease effecting his skin.. When I come back in a couple months and he is still allowed in, I will be contacting the health and safety department and the BBB. I'm already contacting corporate. I know when I used to go here you guys weren't afraid to 86 people but now it's just lenient BS."

"This is definitely a very specific kind of shopping experience, so it helps to know what you’re walking into. Bring gloves. Most shoppers here seem to be hunting for very specific items, likely for resale on eBay or other online platforms. The store is largely set up for bin shopping, with large bins of unsorted items that customers sift through. There are posted signs warning about possible sharp objects, and many items are quite dirty, so gloves are a must. Once one side of the store has been fully picked through, shoppers gather in the center waiting for a bell. When it rings, everyone moves quickly, almost running, to the newly refreshed bins on the other side. It’s intense, fast-paced, and definitely not for casual browsing. Very unique, but not something I’d personally do again. That said, there are deals to be found if you’re prepared. Furniture, for example, is reportedly only $2 per piece according to staff, simply because they have so much inventory. If you’re looking for inexpensive furniture and don’t mind heavy cleaning, sanding, or refinishing, this could be a great place to check. Overall: great for resellers, DIYers, and bargain hunters who know what they’re after but probably not ideal for a relaxed thrift shopping trip."

"OMG! Ok I absolutely love this place. You have to mentally prepare yourself to get your hands dirty and come energized! I am not sure how often they add or change the bins BUT regardless you cannot beat $1.25 per lb. I found many books for both adults and children. Yes some of them are in poor condition but if you take your time to look you can find some pretty good, clean and decent books. Shoes and purses… again they have a lot of old used things BUT keep looking and you will find something. I found 1 pair of new sandals and a new pair of boots. It’s the best place to get clothing as well. I found very nice shirts for my girls and some even have tags on em. This place gets packed and it’s hard to use a cart in here so bring a shopping bag instead. They have bathrooms available but did not use em. For some reason there was 1 cashier (both times I came) so you do have to wait in line for long periods of time. Staff is friendly. Of course I will come back next time I’m in Reno."

"I was shopping at the bargain bin today and I was under the impression that it closed at 8 (thats what it says online), however, that was only the thrift store side. Maybe add another business with different hours? Also, while I was standing in line I was going through my cart to organize/decide whether or not I wanted everything I picked out. When suddenly myself and other customers started getting scolded for going through the bins by the manager. (they are parallel to the checkout line). She threaten to kick us out and not allow us to buy our items. We then Went next door to the thrift side and she continued to harass us and make threats if we didn't cooperate. Minding our own business a few minutes later she was STILL making it known to others about us and it made us feel so uncomfortable. She was extremely unprofessional and made myself and others feel unwelcome. We are frequent shoppers here.... She made it extremely clear that SHE was the manager and that it was HER store... well that BOTH stores were HERS."

"So my wife went to the showcase and asked about a bracelet and the employee said it was on hold for someone the next day. What ! Since when does the goodwill hold for a day and if so get it off the floor These thrift stores in town hold items for friends and other employees don’t even bother donating. Too much monkey business. Also the bargain bin next door there is a short male employee shopping in the boats while on duty and management ignores. Employees should be ashamed."

"If you don't mind digging around for a great deal this place is soo much fun. No frills at all. Mostly bins of clothing, blankets, purses, toys etc. Clothes are sold by weight and we scored some great finds. The Outlet is next to an actual goodwill thrift store which has all the normal stuff and is reasonably priced. Plan your trip because the lines get super long on weekends and evenings. Grab a cart in the parking lot if you see one. They are hard to get in the outlet."
